Leila spent $24 on fruit at the grocery store. She spent a total of $25 at the store. What percentage of the total did she spend on fruit?

Answer 1

To find the percentage, use the formula:

Percentage = (Amount spent on fruit / Total amount spent) × 100

Substitute the values:

Percentage = (24 / 25) × 100

Simplify the fraction:

24 / 25 = 0.96

Multiply by 100:

0.96 × 100 = 96%

Therefore, Leila spent 96% of the total on fruit.
